The Moon is quickly moving through the sign of Aquarius stirring up the emotional need to join the group or rebel against it for the greater good. This can manifest as personal expression with the goal of shocking or surprising others out of their complacency. At this time, confrontations with women, both positive and negative, are likely to be more intense than those with men and may indicate a separation. A desire for autonomy and freedom compels you to detach objectively from emotion in order to live more authentically as yourself as you walk your own path, rather than how others feel you should. The events that unfold over the week are likely to include persons with strong Aquarius in the natal chart (sun, moon, or rising sign).
The moon’s placement highlights primary relationships that have an influence over your moods and actions. Loved ones and partners are significantly more important to you which can drive the urge to partner in ways that lead to dependency issues. You may be very caring and concerned about those you with whom you’re involved and one individual in particular may require help and support. Even long-standing relationships will tend to experience a shift where one of you will need more support emotionally, financially, or physically. The weaker partner will have difficulty in making decisions or handling problems while the stronger partner becomes responsible for the well-being of the relationship. In response, you’re likely to either adapt your behavior to please your partner or to rebel against his /her influence.
The dynamic is one of giver and receiver and the person most likely to provide assistance has more knowledge, expertise, status, power, or control, but may also possess the subconscious need to be needed at all times. However, the imbalance between you can play out through polarized roles that may include stronger versus weaker or traditional male-female roles. If you’re in a difficult relationship where the balance of power is unequal, one of you may be afraid to leave. Excessive jealousy, possessiveness, or lack of trust can be the driving force behind conflicts that are highly emotional making it difficult to be objective. In fact, this is a cycle where you’re more susceptible to the manipulation of your feelings or unduly influenced by former negative relationships that left you wounded. However, if your goal is to establish real intimacy, you must first deal with the psychological repercussions of relationship.
For those who’ve recently become romantically involved, emotional sensitivity may cause you to lead with your heart, rather than your head. But the growth and development of this relationship will rest squarely on emotional reciprocity. You or your partner may feel threatened by the idea of commitment or have ambivalent or contradictory feelings, but unmet expectations can lead to a relationship that is emotionally draining and difficult. It’s possible that insecurity, fear, or the desire to escape can result in indiscriminate alliances, unsuitable partners, or affairs. Perhaps you question whether you can fulfill the responsibilities of a real relationship. If this alliance carries potential based on true love, the relationships will develop a greater intimacy. The more that you can satisfy your own emotional needs, the more likely you are to attract a close emotional bond that’s healthy. By the same token, strained relationships lacking in depth will become more difficult to sustain. You may be attracted to relationships that cause you pain and include hardship or adversity, but beware of allowing a lack of detachment, denial, or strong need for acceptance to cause you to stay in non-productive relationships that offer little potential.
Venus, ruler of both relationship and resources, is linked to the Part of Fatality suggesting endings or difficulties with regard to either. It’s also conjoined to the star Acrux which incites one to place a monetary value on relationships or art and influences money matters to overrule social issues. The Aries Point is once again triggered bringing into play before the public matters that may pertain to government, health, court records, and the working class. Issues connected to these affairs may be part of the media or touch your situation personally.
Worthy of note is the dreaded star Algol, representative of immense female power or the potential of Mother Nature, presiding over the area of this chart ruling legislation, the Senate, cooperative society, business income, and ideals concerning social relationships. The axis of personal resources versus shared assets is in the degree of a master number indicating major lessons concerning values that extend beyond the monetary.
And lastly, a retrograde Jupiter (ruler of truth, justice, legal matters, foreign affairs, reputation, and persons of influence) has been hovering over Scheat for awhile. The more treacherous influence of this star can incite violence and harm, although it also denotes a free thinking and independent person with a need to break from conventional thought. At best, it’s the principle related to a love of intellect and the search for truth.
The grounding influence of this moon signifies stability and protection, especially when projects and endeavors draw from the deep well that is the source of knowledge. This cycle is one to proceed according to the dictates of nature rather than men or artifice as we move through the paradox of growth and barrenness. Left unguided you reap little of value, but the use of discernment brings success. The keyword for this cycle is reputation and suggests that powerful energy and firmness of purpose will bring reward for your labor. For some, it will attract fame or recognition as others are dazzled by the brilliance of your wisdom.
